IFR Trainer: Holding Pattern
Instrument Rating Exam Prep
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: Fly the hold! Take control with live map + HSI, pick your speed (100/120/140kt) and master every entry.
Holding patterns are one of the most dreaded topics on the IFR checkride — and one of the most important. IFR Trainer gives you the fastest way to master Direct, Teardrop, and Parallel entries through realistic, randomized scenarios.
WHY PILOTS CHOOSE IFR TRAINER
Most training apps try to do everything. IFR Trainer does one thing exceptionally well: holding pattern entries. That focus means faster learning, better retention, and real confidence when ATC says "hold as published."
WHAT YOU'LL MASTER
• Direct, Teardrop, and Parallel entry identification
• Correct entry procedures step by step
• Timing, wind corrections, and adjustments
• Visual sector diagrams for instant understanding
• Randomized scenarios — no two sessions are the same
TRAIN LIKE A REAL CHECKRIDE
• Timed quiz mode with 10 questions
• Instant feedback with full explanation of why
• Statistics by entry type to target your weak areas
• Progress tracked on your device — no account needed
FOR EVERY PILOT STAGE
• Student pilots: build the mental model early
• Private pilots transitioning to IFR: drill it fast
• Instrument-rated pilots: stay sharp before a flight review
No simulator required. No internet needed. Just you, the scenarios, and a clearer mental model every session.
